Chapter 477 : A fatal blow! The wrath of the king of Shen Lang!(1/2)
As soon as these words came out, everyone around them changed their expressions.
Why?
Shen Lang is still thousands of miles away, so why can he stop Zhu Hongzhu?
Many people in this world can compromise with Shen Lang, but the Zhu family cannot.
The key to beheading more than 10,000 people and killing Ning Zheng's arm was entirely a tough statement from Ning Shao, not only for Shen Lang, but also for the Great Yan Empire.
Now Zhu Hongzhu prevented this, what did King Ningshao of Yue think about it?
"This knight, you can stay in my mansion first." Zhu Hongzhu walked towards the Black Mirror Division's spy.
"certainly."
Zhu Hongzhu turned around and walked outside and said, "I'm going to pay homage to His Majesty the King of Yue now."
He put on his hat and walked outside. Zhu Rong hurriedly chased after him and whispered: "Father, what exactly is written in Shen Lang's letter? Is it so important?"
Zhu Hongzhu lowered his head and said, "Do you still remember Zhu Yao?"
Zhu Rong trembled and said, "He, what's wrong with him?"
Of course Zhu Rong knew that when Jiang Li was in great power, Zhu Yao was the eggs placed in another basket by the Zhu family.
If Jiang Li wins and wins the world in the future, then Zhu Yao will become a glimmer of life for the Zhu family.
But this is of course a betrayal for the Great Yan Empire. So after Jiang Li died suddenly, the Zhu family first issued an order to Zhu Yao to kill all the geniuses in Jiang Li's secret school. The other party did not recruit him, and the Zhu family sent a master to chase Zhu Yao, intending to kill people completely to silence him, but this person disappeared.
On that day, Ying Guang led a large army into the valley where the secret school was located, and burned everyone inside to death with a big fire.
There were originally thousands of geniuses trained by Jiang Li, who only escaped some of them, and the rest were burned to death in the valley. Not only that, but almost all the teachings were also burned to death. Therefore, Ying Guang and his son committed a lot of blood crimes against Jiang Li.
The Zhu family searched for a long time but couldn't find Zhu Yao. They couldn't help but feel a little relieved and felt that this person was dead.
Zhu Rong whispered: "Father, what can I do if Shen Lang finds this Zhu Yao? Did the Zhu family leave any letters? There is no evidence to prove that our Zhu family once wanted to take two boats. Besides, didn't the royal family also send Xue Yin to lurk next to Jiang Li?"
Zhu Hongzhu said, "Can that be the same? That is the royal family, that is the king, and we are ministers. I will ask you, what qualifications do we have to send someone to lurk to Jiang Li? Have we reported to His Majesty the Emperor? We are civil officials, do we have an intelligence organization that has mastered the Great Yan Empire?"
This is the key point. The Zhu family is not qualified to send spies, but they sent an illegitimate son to Jiang Li. This is to take two boats and this is to speculate.
Zhu Rong thought for a while and said, "Shen Lang threatened us that if we do not stop the execution, we will reveal Zhu Yao's identity?"
Imagine a little bit that if Shen Lang made public Zhu Yao’s identity at this time, it would not have any harm to Zhu on the surface. But the emperor would definitely have grudges in his heart, especially at this time, it was the critical moment when the head of the Yanjing Zhu family was fighting for the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.
Two years ago, the new policy of the Great Yan Empire was successful, and the Shangshutai was reorganized into a cabinet. In order to be conservative, a respected old minister was chosen as the prime minister. The head of the Zhu family was the secondary minister. After two or three years of transition, he would take over the position of prime minister.
"The head of the family is in the critical moment in the past few months. Although the position of prime minister has been almost certain, if any scandal breaks out at this time, it will be magnified immediately. Yan Jing's opponents will not miss such an opportunity. It is hard to say that the position of prime minister of the empire will be the first to be the prime minister at that time." Zhu Hongzhu said: "In comparison, what does Ning Zheng's arm have and more than 10,000 lives count?"
Zhu Rong frowned. He certainly knew the significance of this matter, but this matter alone made the Zhu family compromise? Isn’t it a bit coward?
Zhu Hongzhu said: "Don't just think about his majesty. Our Zhu family is already majestic enough. All majesty is fake, and the power in his hands is real. Moreover, Shen Lang threatens us not only Zhu Yao's affairs, but also one more fatal!"
"What?" Zhu Rong asked.
Zhu Hongzhu said: "Hongxue's identity."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Rong's face changed drastically, and he even stood there motionless.
Zhu Hongxue's weight in the Zhu family at this time is unparalleled. His martial arts talent is too high, and he will become the second-in-command of Tianya Hai Pavilion in the future, and his position is even higher than that of the Prime Minister of Yue.
Because once Shen Lang is eliminated, the Great Yan Empire will join forces with the six transcendent forces to block the entire Eastern world again. The weight of the six transcendent forces including Tianya Hai Pavilion will increase again, so Zhu Hongxue must not have any trouble.
If Zhu Hongxue's identity is revealed to be problematic at this time, then whether he can inherit the position of the second-in-command in Tianya Hai Pavilion in the future will become unknown.
After a while, Zhu Rong gritted his teeth and said, "Zhu Hongxue is my son. Whoever wants to change this must die!"
Zhu Hongzhu said: "Do you know the reason now? Shen Lang made a deal with us. Before he fought against Tianyue City, Ning Yuanxian, Ning Zheng, Bian Xiao, Zhang Chong, and more than 100,000 people arrested could not be harmed."
………………………………………
Inside the palace!
Zhu Hongzhu said directly: "Report to Your Majesty, the old minister wants to stop the execution ceremony. It is better to not cut off the arm of Ning Zheng. After all, he is your younger brother, and this can also show Your Majesty's benevolence."
King Ning Shao of Yue was stunned and looked at Zhu Hongzhu in disbelief. What does this mean? You agreed with this before, and you also appreciated this very much. You think you must be tough enough to Shen Lang. Why have you changed your mind now?
"Prince, why?" asked King Ningshao of Yue.
Zhu Hongzhu bowed and said, "All this is for the sake of His Majesty's sage. If Ning Zheng is guilty, he can be punished by the wise rule of Shen Lang in the future, and there is no need to cut off his arm now. There are more than 10,000 people. The old minister thinks that it is more legitimate to kill Shen Lang when he is destroyed."
King Ning Shao of Yue looked at Zhu Hongzhu for a long time. He really couldn't imagine that Zhu Hongzhu would change his mind at a critical moment.
"Prince, is it Shen Lang who found you and threatened you?"
Zhu Hongzhu shook his head and said, "This is not true at all."
Then, he knelt down on his knees and kowtowed, "Please be kind to your Majesty."
King Ningshao of Yue looked at Zhu Hongzhu who was kneeling on the ground and tremblingly, his eyes shrank slightly, and even a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Then, he stepped forward and helped Zhu Hongzhu up and said, "There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, I still have to listen to the Prime Minister's words."
Then, King Ning Shao of Yue issued an imperial edict: "Come on, I'll send an imperial edict to the execution ground. The execution ceremony will be over. I won't kill it!"
………………………………………
Above the square!
Zhu Rong was confronting Princess Ning Luo. He was here to stop the execution, but Ning Luo insisted that it would never be possible to stop without the will of the king.
"Mr. Zhu Rong, if I remember correctly, Yue State should still have a surname Ning, not Zhu."
Zhu Rong bowed and said, "Of course, Your Highness, Princess. I am not here to stop the execution, but to ask the two to wait for the will of the palace."
"Wait then." Princess Ning Luo sneered.
After her disfigurement, she wore a silver mask almost always, with only two eyes exposed, which looked particularly cold.
And the former third prince Ning Qi and the current Duke of Qi have never spoken.
He was once so radiant, especially in the Battle of Chu and Yue. The amazing talent he showed was completely heartbreaking, and he was even called the most outstanding Ning royal family in hundreds of years.
However, after the Xue family was destroyed, he seemed to be completely lost among the crowd.
After the new king Ningshao took office, he still expressed his loyalty and even led a large army to wipe out the Nanyu Kingdom. As a result, he was not nervous after fighting for several months. After Zhu Hongxue's 10,000 Blood Soul Army passed, he destroyed the Sha Barbarians and defeated Jinjun in a few seconds. In addition, the Sha Barbarians' civilians massacred nearly one million and burned thousands of miles of forests.
After returning to the capital, the Duke of Qi did not perform any outstandingly and did not make any sound.
More than 10,000 prisoners knelt neatly on the ground, without saying a word, and their faces were filled with despair.
Most of this group of people have followed Ning Zheng and indirectly followed Shen Lang, especially Ning Zheng's direct lineage in the Tianyue Admiral's Mansion.
If they had been put before, they would have shouted about the wrongdoing, but they had been detained for two years and were almost numb.
Among them, the entire clan of Liu Wuyan City Lord knelt on it, and he was actually on the list of the first beheadings. Tian Hao saw that he was Shen Lang's enemy for a long time, and he had two charges.
The first one, when he saw Shen Lang in Xuanwu City, he asked him to the side of the road and bowed deeply.
Second, after Shen Lang fled overseas, Liu Wuyan resigned and was judged to have resentment, sympathy and miss Jiang Li.
The sand in the hourglass gradually slipped down, and it was about to arrive soon at noon. At this time, the eunuch sent by King Ning Shao of Yue to send the order to pass the imperial eunuchs were not fast, and even calmly.
The last drop of sand in the hourglass was flowing, and when I looked at the pendulum clock, it was already pointing to the third hour of noon.
"Time is up." Princess Ning Luo said: "Duke Qi, let's start the beheading."
Ning Qi trembled and said, "Since Lord Zhu said there will be a new will, why not wait?"
Princess Ning Luo said in a cold voice: "Ning Qi, do you want to rebel too? Do you also sympathize with Shen Lang's remnants?"
Zhu Rong shouted: "Your Highness, wait a little longer, wait a little longer, the eunuchs in the palace have arrived, here!"
Ning Luo sternly said: "Then wait until you come!"
Then, she directly interfered with the matter, grabbed the token in front of Ning Qi, threw it on the ground, and shouted: "Slay!"
"Swish, swish, swish..."
The first batch of executioners took their swords and fell, blood splattered everywhere, and more than 300 heads were cut off.
The onlookers almost instinctively covered their eyes, and the entire square was shining in blood. Ning Qi's face twitched suddenly, staring at the blood all over the ground in a daze.
At this time, Princess Ning Luo's eyes seemed particularly fanatical and excited, and this killing brought her strong stimulation.
Only such killing can make him pour out his inner hatred and anger. After the defeat of Nanwuguo, she became a prisoner of Jinjun. At that time, she did not hate him very much, because Jinjun after his transformation had a very strong and special charm.
Although she didn't say it, she had some fantasy in her heart. Moreover, the relationship between Jinjun and Yue Kingdom changed very quickly, from an enemy to an ally, so there is a possibility that the couple will reunite.
However, in order to monopolize Jinjun, Queen Jinjun directly disfigured her Ning Luo and did not receive any punishment from Jinjun.
Afterwards, Ning Luo lived in Nanyu Country like an evil ghost. No one was seeking justice for her, neither Jinjun nor Shen Lang nor his father Ning Yuanxian.
She began to hate everyone, Jinjun, Shen Lang, and Ning Yuanxian.
Now she is dark and cold inside, and only the blood of killing can arouse her excitement a little.
"Continue to kill, continue to kill..." Princess Ning Luo shouted loudly.
Then, the second group of executioners slashed their swords.
At this time, the eunuch of King Yue had arrived, holding a brand new imperial edict in his hand, and stopped the imperial edict of the grand ceremony.
At this time, he should have shouted that there was someone left under the knife, but he did not.
To be continued...
